Ethan's Interview about His Alpine Valley School Experience on You Tube

In February Ethan was home for a short time while Grandpa Don was in the hospital. During that time Ethan was invited to do an interview with a person who hosts a website about educational alternatives. Here is the resulting interview:

-----
Ellie is now in Johannesberg for the night. I imagine that they had dinner and are now visiting the city, taking in the culture, etc. South Africa is eight hours ahead of us and it is the early winter there, so sunset was at about 5:30. They will stay the night and then catch a small plane in the morning to get to East London. From there they will rent a car and drive to the reserve.

Welcome to My Blog

Welcome to "A Need to Create." This blog started out as a way to document and share the various kinds of creations I enjoy making.

However, it has become more like a diary of our family events. You'll find lots of posts about my kids, Ellie (17) who is a senior in high school and Ethan (21) who is currently being a sailor on a tall ship off of the West Coast. They are on the verge of adulthood and I am thankful to be part of their journeys.

I also like to cook and post recipes. I post a lot of our recipes. We were Paleo for a while, and now my husband is vegan. I craft, quilt, sew, paint, knit, etc. when I have time.

I hope you find something to amuse you, inspire you, or at least make you smile. Thanks for stopping by.

About Me

I have a nearly insatiable need to create things - from paper, paint, fabric or food. While it is fun to have end products, it is the act of creating that it important. It can put me in a nearly Zen-like state of happiness and contentment. My postings here will chronicle my processes.
I am a mom of two kids, Ethan (18 years old) and Ellie (14 years old). I met my husband on a blind date in high school and have been in love ever since. By day I am a HS English teacher. I also teach reading and am an English as a Second Language teacher. I also write and facilitate online professional development graduate level courses for teachers.
